Description of holiday villa in Biot, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur
The house has few rectangles or flat ceilings - and no poky rooms. Each room has its unique character. The living space, on two levels, extends to 75sq ms and has two distinct areas. The double height atrium, full of light, has the dining table at the lower level and in the upper mezzanine the corner where the children can go watch a film on the large flat screen TV. The lower level is sheltered from the sun, and contains a large sofa in front of the fire place, as well as our Verner Panton 'Tower', which the children love to play and read on (clean bare feet only please).
On the upper level a glass corridor, reminiscent of the Finnish architect, Aalto, travels the north side of the house, with wonderful views of the trees and the hillside behind, leading to the library where you can browse the modern literature, sipping a scotch on the rocks in the art nouveau leather chair.
There are four main bedrooms (two are doubles, the other two can be set out as doubles or as twin beds) all on different levels and quite separate from each other, each with its independent bathroom or shower room, each with access either to the garden or the large first floor terrace overlooking the pool. Each bedroom is individually decorated.
In addition there are two other bedrooms, one room next to one of the double rooms for one or two single beds, and another double room (twin bedded only) accessed via the library.
